Arsenal take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on Saturday evening in Budapest, as Mikel Arteta’s side look to secure a historic double.
The Gunners were crowned Premier League champions last week, ending their 22-year wait for a top-flight title. Jubilant scenes subsequently unfolded on the streets of North London, before Martin Odegaard’s joyous trophy lift on Sunday sparked more wild celebrations across the English capital, and around the globe.
Arteta needs to quickly refocus his players ahead of the next task at hand. The Spaniard and his squad have the opportunity to turn an outstanding season that ended a long title drought into a legendary one which will be remembered forever.
PSG come into this clash having won their own league title, although the pressure will be different for Luis Enrique’s men. Winning Ligue 1 is almost a formality for the nation-state-owned club, with their entire campaign resting exclusively on the Champions League every term.
Thus, while Arsenal may be slight underdogs from a footballing perspective, they should have the psychological upper hand. On top of this, Emmanuel Petit revealed on Wednesday that the mood around PSG’s camp might be overly confident, and that this arrogance could ultimately turn into complacency.
Whatever ultimately unfolds at the Puskas Arena, in the heart of one of Eastern Europe’s most pristine cities, it’s sure to set pulses racing and provide box office entertainment.
